Food for Thought #25

~ By Buddhadāsa Bhikkhu ~

The quest for physical happiness leads to war; the quest for spiritual happiness leads to peace. As long as the world continues to worship materialism and is caught up in a search for physical happiness, there can be no hope for peace. You can establish as many League of Nations for peace as you like - it will still not matter.
